//because summer is over.
I can't even believe it. The summer that I thought would never end has somehow careened by at a breathtaking speed, and on the night when I should be running around throwing my entire life into a suitcase, I'm instead trying to wrap my mind around what's just around the corner.
So many memories from my freshman year are threatening to make nostalgic tears trickle down my cheeks. Oh what I would give to tell the freshman me to hold. on. tight. to each and every moment because life passes oh so fast and I am left wondering where on earth does the time go? So many changes. So many dear friends not returning to PHC this fall. So many questions. Yet over all, there is so. much. peace.
If you ever go to follow me on Instagram, you'll notice that my username is "andnotbysight". As I sit here surrounded by all my earthly possessions, I keep coming back to the reason I chose that name because it is so true that we walk by faith, and not by sight.
Elation. Anxiety. Joy. Doubt. Peace. Worry. Hope. Fear. So many emotions are firing through my mind on this last night in Pittsburgh, yet I hold on tight to the fact that each and every one of us is in the eternal grip of grace. God's grace is sufficient, even in my weakness, and therefore I walk by faith.
To God be all the praise and glory.
(as a completely non-deep side note, my soon-to-be-roommate sent me this link, and it perfectly sums up my evening)
(also I just realized that my past few snapshots were dated as July, not August. Yep. That's just the way things roll around here ;))
